In-depth weather discussion for Northwest Montana/Rockies
Issued Sunday, Feb. 3 at 6:30 p.m.
A very warm, and in some cases record warm day on Saturday will give way to more unsettled condi-tions on Sunday with much cooler conditions becom-ing more widespread and the return of snow in many areas as well. Many areas saw temperatures well into the 50s today with the exception of mountain areas. Colder air is knocking on the doorstep though of lo-cations such as Eureka, Rexford and Trego as colder air is beginning to creep into those areas from the north and east which should provide locations in much of Lincoln County above 2500 feet with some snow tonight into tomorrow and possibly into Mon-day as well. There may be some gusty easterly winds at times in those same areas which may help some of the snow to blow around effectively. As we go through the week, general northwest flow will domi-nate but a stronger system looks to move in on Thursday, which has been advertised now for the past several runs of the GFS and now the Canadian and EC models are stronger with it than the GFS. If the latter two models are correct, and I suspect they are, then widespread snowfall and colder tempera-tures are likely during that time frame with the cold-er temperatures likely to continue into next weekend so as always, make sure you check back often.
